Pumpkin Biscuits with step by step pictures are really simple and easy to make.
Halloween is a celebration that’s observed in number of countries on October 31. Its also know as All Saints’ Eve. Its not an Indian Culture or Tradition. But we inherit some of the western cultures, so this is one such celebration.
On this Celebration, people or even some organizations call up for a party in which everyone dresses scary and funny costumes. It includes carving Pumpkin into jack-o-lanterns, making spooky treats, playing pranks and kids trick-or-treating. It has nothing to do with religious or tradition.
Lets get in to the recipe, Baked Pumpkin Goodies makes an excellent treat for celebrating Halloween. So I made Pumpkin Biscuits in the shape of pumpkin and hand carved its eyes, nose and mouth to make real Halloween treat.
Let’s talk about the ingredients!
- Pumpkin Puree is the main flavorful ingredient of this biscuit. I used Homemade Pumpkin Puree. Check this method to make Pumpkin Puree in Oven, that I followed from the Pioneer Women Blog.
- I used half brown sugar and half white sugar. Using brown sugar, makes the cookie chewy.
That’s my post for “BM #93” under “Cookies in different forms”.
